T-TIME checked my prostate with a fucking pool stick in Cleveland. :evil: He says I'm good. :lol:

Ok, Tito. Man, that sounds like something that cheap fucker would say. But he wouldn't be kidding!!! :lol: :wink:

Your $800 bar tab had nothing to do with that behavior, I'm sure ... :D

How does Perry keep getting tied up in assumptions that he will be somewhere? He's pictured with Melissa E once and people expect him to be where she is? He was involved briefly with the White Sox three years ago, and I've seen people posting about watching White Sox games looking for him on TV.

Dude wait... he said the word Starbucks once, I think... I'mma go hang out there now and wait for him. :lol: :lol:

One of them actually had a little in it, if you recall, and it spritzed all over those nearby (me). :lol:
After that, I kept lunging, I wasn't taking any chances. No matter... right after that was the "power of Christ compels you". :shock: :lol:

No I'm not. I'm fine. And I did not snap at you yesterday due to a bad mood.
I snapped at you because what you said pissed me off.
That aside, I am very pleasant and easy to get along with. You should be so lucky to know that firsthand. :D

Funny you say that...I was listening to the Mike & Mike show (ESPN2) this morning and TBS baseball analyst and former major league pitcher Dennis Eckersley was compared to looking like Steve Perry. I don't see it. I'll have to look closer tonight though.

Dennis Eckersley is much better looking than Steve Perry. If you took a vote outside of Loondom the results would be similar to the Bears-Patriots in Super Bowl XX.

Check out Melissa's Pink Page for breast cancer awareness info.


Lora, great pic of You, Cyndy and Dean...
I did my part for Pinktober...bought a set of PINK pots and pans for new apartment.
Donation went to Breast Cancer....

I am going in for a mamogram. I am way overdue. Again Lora, thanks for the Pink Link. It resides on both sides of my family. My mother and two aunts on my father's side. This might be good for many of the ladies on this site. If you are at high risk, take the time, put it on priority, and get yourself checked out.

Aren't you supposed to get checked once a year after 40?, like guy's getting their prostate checked annually after 50.

I think so, I am 45, so as I said, I am overdue. My mom puts me at high risk. Hers went from a pea sized spot that the doctor wanted to "watch". A month later it a grew to both breasts and she had to have a radical mascetomy. Don't put it off if you find anything. Don't let doctors blow you off if you have concerns. And yes guys you do need to stay up on your health too. It is so sad to lose someone, over something that with early detection can be possibly cured.

Hmm, your docs should be following you very closely with a mother who had it. I go every 3 months now, surgeon's orders, which is fine with me, but my mom's was very aggressive and she didn't survive. Mammograms alone are simply NOT ENOUGH. Fight with them if you have to for ultrasounds and MRI's as well as the mammograms, I have all 3. Diagnostic mammograms too, not the other. Diagnostic are painful (I actually get bruises on my chest), but it's worth it. Mammos aren't enough because my mom was religious every year with hers yet was still stage 4 when diagnosed. Started in her left breast, and she 2 more tumors, one near her collar bone on the same side (yes breast tissue goes up that far), and another in her brachial plexus in the neck on the left side also, which was inoperable, they had neurosurgeons and even cardio-thoracic surgeons try to figure out a way to remove it, and simply couldn't without killing her during surgery they said. So instead she was treated as aggressively as they could with chemo and radiation, which was absolute hell for her, and absolute hell for us to see her go through, and still not survive.

Be aggressive as absolute hell if you have to ladies with your docs. I'm lucky with the 2 surgeons who follow me.

I am so sorry for your loss. I have the misfortune of not having insurance right now. Thank goodness there are free mamograms offered in our area this month! Thank you for your advice. I have had two biopsies in my life so far, both were benign. But one never knows. I do monthly exams religiously. My heart is with you! :cry:

I am so sorry for your loss. I have the misfortune of not having insurance right now. Thank goodness there are free mamograms offered in our area this month! Thank you for your advice. I have had two biopsies in my life so far, both were benign. But one never knows. I do monthly exams religiously. My heart is with you! :cry:


Thank you. I've had a biopsy already too. Do the free mammogram for sure!

Melissa was her usual amazing self, signing autographs for over 350 fan club members and doing her part to shine a light on the fight against cancer. The event was held at the Hard Rock Cafe at Universal City and was the launch of Pinktober, as October is breast cancer awareness month. We had a blast, even in the 100+ degree heat.

Check out Melissa's Pink Page for breast cancer awareness info.


Lora, great pic of You, Cyndy and Dean...
I did my part for Pinktober...bought a set of PINK pots and pans for new apartment.
Donation went to Breast Cancer....

I am going in for a mamogram. I am way overdue. Again Lora, thanks for the Pink Link. It resides on both sides of my family. My mother and two aunts on my father's side. This might be good for many of the ladies on this site. If you are at high risk, take the time, put it on priority, and get yourself checked out.

Aren't you supposed to get checked once a year after 40?, like guy's getting their prostate checked annually after 50.

I think so, I am 45, so as I said, I am overdue. My mom puts me at high risk. Hers went from a pea sized spot that the doctor wanted to "watch". A month later it a grew to both breasts and she had to have a radical mascetomy. Don't put it off if you find anything. Don't let doctors blow you off if you have concerns. And yes guys you do need to stay up on your health too. It is so sad to lose someone, over something that with early detection can be possibly cured.


Hmm, your docs should be following you very closely with a mother who had it. I go every 3 months now, surgeon's orders, which is fine with me, but my mom's was very aggressive and she didn't survive. Mammograms alone are simply NOT ENOUGH. Fight with them if you have to for ultrasounds and MRI's as well as the mammograms, I have all 3. Diagnostic mammograms too, not the other. Diagnostic are painful (I actually get bruises on my chest), but it's worth it. Mammos aren't enough because my mom was religious every year with hers yet was still stage 4 when diagnosed. Started in her left breast, and she 2 more tumors, one near her collar bone on the same side (yes breast tissue goes up that far), and another in her brachial plexus in the neck on the left side also, which was inoperable, they had neurosurgeons and even cardio-thoracic surgeons try to figure out a way to remove it, and simply couldn't without killing her during surgery they said. So instead she was treated as aggressively as they could with chemo and radiation, which was absolute hell for her, and absolute hell for us to see her go through, and still not survive.

Be aggressive as absolute hell if you have to ladies with your docs. I'm lucky with the 2 surgeons who follow me.

Take good care of yourself! Sad that this brings so many women together.
